Tern的身世及家族之争

西部骑士

今天沙尘铺天盖地，宅在家中，看到风云上关于Tern折叠车的帖子，想起两个月前的一件事儿。车友千万别觉得我是在外扬别人的家丑，只是有些车友问Tern的身世，才想到把外媒的一些报道引述给大家。一切报道源自外媒，如有不真实之处，本人盖无责任。

两个月前，我留心过折叠车，看到关于Tern自行车首次进入市场的报道。看到这些报道，感到惊讶的是，创立Tern折叠车的是有“折叠车之父”之称的大行董事长韩德玮博士的太太（Florence Hon）和儿子（Jashua Hon）。老婆和儿子分出去单干，与丈夫和老爸分庭抗礼，不能不给人以事态炎凉的感觉。不过，据说当初韩德玮博士也是与其母亲分出去另立门户创立了大行（本人还未就此核实）。历史以惊人完全一样的模式复制自己，让人深感命运的蹊跷。 有意思的是，Tern的商标是一只展翅的燕鸥，外人分析不外乎是象征羽翼丰满、远走高飞的意思。老爸看了这个标，心中该作何感触？！

在扯旗单干之前，韩博士的太太是大行台湾公司的CEO，儿子Jashua 韩是大行北美公司的市场营销副总裁。 儿子Jashua对创立Tern的原因解释是，大行不够注意质量，所以出来单干；他不但带走了自己的母亲，还从大行带走了一帮人马。几个月前，韩博士在美国加州杜阿特（Duarte) 地方法院对妻子和儿子提出起诉，控告这对儿母子侵害信托责任、非公平竞争、财务舞弊等。法院文件还显示，母子俩最初企图接管整个大行公司，未能实现，随将大行台湾公司切分出来成立了Tern。这当中还有很多相互指责，这里就不啰嗦了。  还是以有法律文件披露的信息的为准。有兴趣者，可以在下面的连接中点击查看法律文件。

Dahon take Tern to court in battle over folding bikes

[size=1.21em]Dahon are taking new folding bike rivals Tern to court, with CEO David Hon accusing the founders of the fledgling business – his son Joshua and estranged wife Florence – of "unlawfully using company assets, resources and intellectual property to start a competing company".

[size=1.21em]A lawsuit filed at the US District Court in Duarte, California today accuses Florence – the ex-CEO of Dahon Taiwan – and Josh – former vice president of sales and marketing at Dahon North America, the parent company – of breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, and conversion and accounting offences. It calls for a jury trial and demands "compensatory and punitive damages, restitution, and temporary and permanent injunctive relief".

[size=1.21em]In a press release, Dahon stated: "[We] sued Joshua Hon and Florence Hon for wrongfully seizing control of Dahon’s Taiwan subsidiary (Dahon and Hon Industrial Labs) and related intellectual property, including the Biologic brand and the dahon.com website, and for using those assets and property to unfairly compete with Dahon. In addition, since Joshua and Florence Hon started competing with Dahon while officers and employees of Dahon, they've acted in breach of their fiduciary duties owed to Dahon and to Dahon’s shareholders."

[size=1.21em]The court papers, which can be viewed here, claim that the pair tried to take over Dahon and when that failed, annexed its Taiwanese subsidiary and formed a rival company. The documents say they simultaneously tried to undermine Dahon by spreading misinformation, including rumours that the company's Chinese subsidiary was on the brink of bankruptcy.

[size=1.21em]At time of publication, no response to the allegations had been received from Tern Bicycles or their parent company, Mobility Holdings Ltd. [A response has now been received and you can read it here ~ ed.]

鸟车（Birdy）之后，骑行世界有多了一直鸟 － 燕鸥（Turn），比翼双飞吧。

另据外媒报道，燕鸥（Tern）的产品线有22中型号的折叠车，价格在400美元到3500美元一辆之间。顶级产品是Verge X20，套件是速驰（Sram）顶级Red，相当于喜马诺的Dura Ace。 还据外媒报道，燕鸥的产品线几乎覆盖所有大行的产品线，所以燕鸥赢得的每一个市场，都将蚕食大行的原有市场。

展翅的燕鸥：

《哈哈》

愿产品质量与这漂亮的海鸥一样漂亮。

没说明白

厂家竞争好，大行的售后服务挺操蛋，非常非常混蛋，多一个竞争者对用户是利好！
我把车骑到大行国展店，让他们帮我看看有没有问题，我进门就说了要付费保养，小伙子上来卡巴卡巴几下子就把我指拨掰坏了，然后告诉我，没有办法修，你哪儿买的上哪修去，一点儿道歉都没有，我CAO T-M！坚决支持大行老婆胡闹！
